RIP Donna Summer (1948 – 2012)

Fraserhead — Fri, 18 May 2012 23:22:38 +0000

No one did sultry like Donna Summer did. And teaming up with Giorgio Moroder was a stroke of genius. A real musical match made in heaven. “I Feel Love” is one of the all time classics.

If you ever wondered what we do when the microphones are switched off and the music is playing, this video for “Love To Love You Baby” from 1975 will give you an idea of our super smooth moves.

RIP Guru (1966 – 2010)

Just as we’re doing the Goodnight Kiwi thing, news is coming through that Guru from Gang Starr has apparently passed away.

No confirmation yet at NME, Pitchforkmedia or other major news sites…

… but we wake up the next day and, unfortunately, it is now confirmed.

RIP Malcolm McLaren (1946-2010)

Stealing things is a glorious occupation, particularly in the art world…
